Labor Day Eats

I'm not really sure why Americans celebrate Labor Day, but I'm glad we do. It means I get a day off work, and that means more time for playing with food. I spent Labor Day in Jonesboro, Arkansas, my hometown located about an hour from Memphis.

My mom made the most delicious calzones for dinner! Here's my Vegan Chicken and Ham Calzone:

The calzone looks perfect! I remember that we had lots of canned beans in a cupboard when I was a kid. My grandmother canned them as she canned some cherries. Maybe I'll get a big cupboard myself and start canning.

It is so good that these family traditions are being passed down. Beautiful showcase of beans. That calzone looks good u are lucky to have a supportive family. I am now learning more about canning and jam making.

About Me

I'm a 9-year vegan, 19-year vegetarian from the Mid-South, not too far from the muddy banks of the Mississippi River. And that means cornbread, butter beans, and collard greens.
These days, I live in Memphis. Check out my cookbook — Cookin' Crunk. It's filled with yummilicious veganized soul food and country classics.
